The Cruise Boycott
For Steven Spielberg, bigger worries are at hand these days than just the dwindling number of UFO sightings -- the star of his new flick War of the Worlds has been acting, ah, unconventionally of late. Some bloggers are resolving that they won't see War because of Cruise's over-the-top devotions to his fiance, Katie Holmes, the potential insidious influence of his Scientologist beliefs on her and the lecture he gave NBC's Matt Lauer on psychiatry. Rogue Slayer, tingaling and Absolutely Bill are all taking a pass on the coming blockbuster. Heckler Spray calls it one of the most spectacular career suicides in history. How big a dent can the web's chattering class make in the opening grosses of a summer Spielberg movie? Without wishing to overstate things, it might wise to ask this guy.
